Part Of What Makes Tragedies Tragic Is The Story Being Preventable From The Outside But Unpreventable

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

something I think a lot of people forget when talking about snowjanus’s dynamic is the fact that they genuinely get along. When I finally read the book, I was surprised to see how well they bounce off of each other. And Sejanus is constantly making Coriolanus laugh and smile!!!

Even when they’re in the arena, they’re still laughing at their silly little joke 😭

Mind you they’re literally in a death trap? They quite literally could die right there and they still got time to laugh and tease each other. That’s chemistry, baby!

Also these interactions from when they’re still in the Capitol…alright.

“And he was about to return it” they’re just two silly boy friends.

And Sejanus is such a tease when it comes to Coriolanus:

like yes they’re toxic and tragic and unhealthy but they were also just two boys who used to smile and laugh and tease each other. Not everything about them is as bleak as a lot of people make it up to be.

im a fucking sucker for the “character gets so badly injured that they can’t think clearly and start calling for help in a distressingly vulnerable way.” characters who start using nicknames for their friends they haven’t used since they were kids. characters who start begging for their brother they haven’t seen in years to be there. characters who would usually use their parents’ names or call them mother/father/etc crying out mama when they go down. u understand.

You think they'll give those kids a scrap if we don't give them a reason to do it? How do you think your tribute will have a chance if he can't eat?
